Equality and Diversity

Disability | Gender | Race

Statement of Dundee City Council

The Council is committed to the social inclusion of groups of citizens who are marginalised and who experience discrimination. We are developing a range of equality and diversity policies to prevent discrimination and promote equality and diversity as:

An employer
A provider of services
A partner agency
A community leader

A generic equality and diversity scheme (331KB PDF) was developed in November 2005 and sets out our vision of how we will do this.

Council policy is determined by the Policy and Resources Committee with the assistance of corporate equality and diversity action groups which currently exist in the areas of Race, Disability and Gender and Sexuality. These groups are supported by the Equality and Diversity Team Leader.

We are also an active member of Dundee Equality and Diversity Partnership, which aims to develop partnership working across the equality and diversity agenda.
